    Niagara Gazette - 4/2/1927

    A large circle of relatives and
    friends will grieve to learn of
    the death of Mary Barbara Witmer,
    a life-long resident of the c i ty of Niagara
    Falls, after a n i l l n e s s ranging,
    over a period, of about five months.
    She had been in ill health for a number
    of years, but for the most part of
    the time was able to attend to her
    many little duties In the household.
    Although relieved for several years
    of the heavier responsibilities by h e r
    industrious and untiring daughters,
    Mrs. Theresa M Morrison, and Miss
    Serena T., h e r advisory capacity .served
    in good, stead, always displaying
    the well-matured, judgment of o n e
    whoso training had been well founded.
    She w a s a n ardent lover of maternal
    companionship and while act-
    in g In a n advisory capacity with her
    daughters during all these years, s he
    was well blessed with the continual
    companionship of h e r aged mother,
    Mrs., Catherine Schneider of 1516
    Ontario avenue, whose 100th anniversary
    was celebrated on May 31 s t last
    year and w h o will deeply moun her
    departure.
    Mrs. Witmer was t h e oldest of thirteen
    children born to the late .Rev.
    Theobald Schneider a n d Catherine
    Grauer Schneider, on May 28th, 1847,
    while Rev. Mr: Schneider was serving
    as an ttlnerary minister for the
    Evangelical association near Toronto,
    Ont, a n d her early religious
    training was derived through that
    church and for which, in connection
    with her mother, she held a h i gh regard
    throughout her whole life.
    On Dec. 23rd, 1869 s h e w a s given in
    marriage to the Rev. Simon Witmer,
    the eleventh members of another,pioneer
    family of twelve, whose parents
    settled in Niagara county In 1810, t he
    second white family to take up their
    abode in this section of t h e country.
    Seven children were born as a result
    of this happy union, six of whom are
    living Malcham T., Simon C, Orlando
    B., Artemas S., Theresa M. ( n ow
    Mrs. Morrison) and Serena T. The
    oldest one, Alvln F. preceeded her
    March 3, 1909. Besides the s ix children
    who survive her, she is also
    mourned by three brothers, George
    H., Jacob A. and John C. Schneider,
    and four sisters, Mrs. Amanda C.
    Eberling and hte Misses Sarah V.,
    Nellie S. and Rose E. Schneider, as
    well as s i x grandchildren. t
    After her marriage, Mrs. Witmer
    associated herself with the Free
    Methodist Church in this city, so that
    she might be the better able to c o operate
    with her husband in his
    chosen religious sphere, and t o the
    time of her death she exhibited'at all
    times to a full measure that spirit of
    service so helpful and much appreciated
    in the dark hour, never failing,
    although family demands were pressing,
    to stand ready to pass the c up
    of cold water to those In need. A
    very prominent trait was her ability
    to mentally retain and relate past occurrences
    of apparently very small
    moment and especially was this true
    religiously, her songs alone in both
    the German and English language
    ringing unceasingly her true spirit
    with which she was peculiarly endowed.
    Mrs. Witmer and her devoted
    husband celebrated their golden wedding
    anniversary on Dec. 23, 1919.
    The-funeral will be held from her
    late residence, 1024 Grove avenue at
    2:30 p. m. Sunday, April 3rd, and t he
    body will be borne to its last restingplace
    in Rlverdalo cemetery by her
    four sons, her son-in-law, Murdo
    Morrisson and W. Sherman Farrington
    of Buffalo. Rev. J. I . McCullough,
    pastor of the Free Methodist
    Church will officiate at the funeral.
    He will be assisted by other ministers,
    friends of the diseased
